The Smoke Joint UK in Worcester

Tried this place on the off-chance, not knowing anything about it. After all, one pizza's much the same as another, isn't it? "A Margherita, please." Sat down in an atmospheric narrow cavern with a corrugated ceiling, set in a railway arch. Room for little more than one line of tables. I was the only customer. Three staff on--two youngsters and a lady owner. I felt a bit awkward. Bit of a wait. Good sign, though. And, oh my gawld, what a pizza it turned out to be! For a start, it was square. (So, no, all pizzas aren't the same.) The base was very thick and almost chewy in places, especially the corners--but in a good way, like sourdough. The mozzarella was the real thing, with cartoon-like elasticity which made eating this pizza an experience--the opposite of a fast-food pizza. The tomato sauce ran into pools over the surface. They'd cut the pizza into 4 quarters. I only managed 3, it was so filling. And I thought I could eat any amount of pizza put in front of me. No way should a place like that have been empty. One of the best pizzas I've ever had in my life.

Dan was our waiter and he was absolutely lovely, made sure we had everything we need and was so polite. Really made our experience enjoyable! Food was lovely and again Dan making sure everything was ok.

in keystones last night and they were so good with safe guarding of a girl that was in a really bad state. It’s very refreshing and reassuring to see

we liked the look algho it was empty, one rainy Thursday , it ws 3pm. What a pleasant surprise, food really good. our lasagne really tasty and a decent helping. Husband impressed with calamari. it didn't cost the earth and a glass of wine offered at nominal cost . Well it gets our vote. Can't rate the atmosphere, but several more people did walk in. Go again, absolutely. But we are 3 hours away from Birmingham. Shame.

Went through the drive though today and was helped by Mandy, she was lovely, very helpful and always gives service with a smile!
